The Pride (Anastasia Rade)

[Basaba Willamina]

Basaba was in the armored transport, they had been working on it in the park but it had blown a rod and now she was trying to get it really going. A look on her face while she clenched her hands over the wheel and went through a small barricade on the world leading the way on Dxun through the jungle. She was here with her clan looking over things they had and making sure the locations of their homes was hidden away. Fading into the jungle while she jostled with the transport stopping and she looked at the landing pad.

It wasn't often she called someone master but that was what apprentices called the ones teaching them the force and while she disliked some of the force users she wasn't going to deny.. it was a tool sh could use to empower herself. It was a tool you could use, a weapon and would if anything make another weapon in her arsenal. That was worth it to herself before she was getting out of it and holding a horak rifle on her back while she had one of the beskar spears for herself to use. She didn't have a lightsaber yet after all.

"So shall we begin vod?"

She had become more vocal when it came to her gift. Ana didn’t feel the need to hide her Force sensitivity anymore which was something that she attributed to the support she received from her lover and brother. She was more at peace with herself than she had ever been and it showed. Ana had been able to concentrate on her studies in that area which she knew would help her vode in battle. On top of this she felt more able to train others whom were Force sensitive. She was well aware that she wasn’t the only Vode with the gift so she had offered her services to anyone whom wished for training. It wasn’t long until someone had answered her call.

“What do you know of the Force? I only ask because I don’t want to bore you with the basics.” She stated as she stood in front of her awaiting an answer. The place that had been chosen for this training was one in which Ana could utilize to teach her student a few things as such she approved of it.

Basaba stood there and popped her neck as she took her helmet off. Standing to her full height and holding it with her mechanical arm while she spoke. "I know in a fight the jedi and sith can use it to mess with our equipment and shots. It can be a strong weapona nd tool in an arsenal when you need it or to work a job. JUmping great distances or being able to goad someone into a fight with a little mental push sounds like a good way to start." She wasn't certain if it could do more then that but why not she had some good days and there were some bad ones ahead always. Basaba stood near the transport and motioned for Anastasia to join her while she set the helmet on the seat. "Where do you think it would be best to try and train this, the moon is rarely used by anyone but my clan."

Ana had been correct in her thoughts, she didn't know very much. The young woman herself had been rather lucky that her brother encouraged her training. She knew many Vode hid their abilities instead of embracing them. She was hoping though that should turn that around a bit and help those willing with learning a few skills every now and again. I can teach you all of these skills. I have no issue training here unless you have a better idea."

"I have no better idea, if it will help add another tool then I am for it." She smirked while motioning for the woman to climb in. "Come we'll go to one of the temples, the moon is littered with them and there is one where the bladesisters train that had one fo the jedi... or sith. I don't know but it was important to them and now it is used by us. We even have some zekkegs nearby that can be hunted." A smirk was on her face while she was looking at the girl. A talented mando in her own right no doubt and a force user... plus pink armor. Not tactical but it made a statement and surprised people.

 

[Anastasia Rade]

"I wasn't aware that you had a temple here," Ana smiled as she climbed into the vehicle. She learned something new everyday such as their had been a temple here. What do you use it for now?" Ana kind of had the idea planted in her head that it was used for weapon storage now or maybe just a place to stay while hunting. Ana interacted on a daily basis with her own clan and talked to others at a cantina. It wasn't often that she spent much time like this with any one member. Ana was happy to do it though and help her Vode in whatever way was necessary. She kind of liked it as well, it helped her get her mind off of things.

"I can teach you all the skills that you mentioned and more. It is quite a big tool that you will be adding to your arsenal of weapons. The enemy won't know what hit them." Ana could show her many things but it would be up to her to practice. Force abilities just like anything else needed to be practiced in order to be gotten right. One could even learn more from other books on their own. Ana had done much self study.

"Well it was a temple, now it is a place we use for training beasts and some of the children." She was looking at everything while the vehicle started up. She agreed about it being a powerful tool she could add to her list of weapons and moved the transport onto the path they had made as it sped over vines and brush with the HUD on the windshield displaying for them the different overlays to track and give a better idea. The trip was taking some time but Basaba worked to make it quickly as eventually they came out near a small lake with the temple over looking it and multicolored armored mandalorians that turned to look. Some were on beasts, some on basilisk and cerberus war droids as they were teaching others to ride them. She saw another one of the armored transports there using the rocks in the middle of the lake as target practice. "Welcome to one of the clans places and I hope you enjoy. Maybe afterwards I'll get you to pilot a cerberus."

 

[Anastasia Rade]

"Thank you, that could be a lot of fun." She stated as she got out of the car. It was a wonder really why Ana hadn't heard of this place before today. She would have come sooner and trained with other clans. Ana had been busy though trying to adjust herself to clan life and fit in with the group. There was so much that she had to work on and so much still Ana knew she needed to work on. She didn't consider herself an expert on the Force but she had more information than this clan. Information she could share with other. Ana believed that there was always something to learn.

"You train beasts here? I could show you animal friendship so that you can better connect to them. Have better relations." She smiled lightly as she moved closer to the temple. Ana wasn't sure what they did with the beasts but she had a feeling it was for riding or hunting purposes. She couldn't see them being cruel.

Basaba looked at her... mostly like she was crazy for a moment and then at some of the maalrasses as she stuck her mechanical arm into the cage and watched one leap for it. "A grand idea but this is the demon moon vod, being to friendly with these beasts can get your face mauled off." She took her hand out and tossed the one beast down as she was moving. "The best way is to raise them, breed them and then imprint on the babies as their alpha when they are young." She though did look at the rest of the area and there was the battle circle they used stained in dark areas with patches of blood. "I am though open to learning how to sense an enemies intentions as it were if you know how they are going to react then you can plan a good counter or carry through."

 

[Anastasia Rade]

"I'm sure that can happen if your not careful or know what your doing. I would like to show you otherwise if you'll give me the chance." Ana smiled lightly not too concerned about getting her face mauled off. She had a pack of wolves at home that she did just fine with. The knight was quite sure that she could and would be able to handle and deal with the beasts here no problem. She could look at the beasts later but for now it was better to focus on other aspects.

"It's a lot like fighting without the force. I always allow the enemy to make the first move. It's easier and than you can watch to see how they react. Everyone has tricks up their sleeve so you must be prepared for anything. You always keep your guard up and never let the enemy see you falter."

Basaba felt that primal part of herself rise up at the chance to challenge the vods thoughts. She wanted to show her there was more to the beasts then just the force or going to fast in the training to use them. She smirked though pushing the thoughts away while she stood there and was listening of what could be happening. She liked tricks and putting them up her sleeve well that could come in handy as she clenched her mechanical fist. She could have maybe saved her arm if she had been smarter at the time or used more tricks against that sith. At least she had taken her arm as well and looked down at the transport that was being worked on with the systems and her sisters. "Alright, so just like normal situations with embracing the dangers and flaws for yourself to fight and attack."

 

[Anastasia Rade]

She knew that her Vode were quite capable without the Force and Ana knew that once they understood the Force that they would be beasts. She had no doubt that she would pick up what Ana was trying to teach quickly. The master thought of showing her some advance abilities however she didn't wish to get her excited about them. Hurt herself by trying Pyro or something like that which Ana didn't want.

"Let's start with something simple. Pushing and pulling objects. I want you to try and move the rock. Focus on what you want to happen."

If she needed to Ana would demonstrate the ability but fist she wanted to see if her student could do it.

Basaba looked at Anastasia and gave a nod of her head. That was something simple, she had seen jedi children able to do it and she was no child while she stood there. The tension in her muscles that had her prone and ready to fight, the grinding of her teeth in anticipation melted away while she stood there for the moment. Ease of the situation as for a moment she even started to forget she was surrounded by dangerous beasts. Her hand came out reaching for some of the rocks as there was a tingle at the back of her skull, a feeling of warmness in her chest before she pushed it towards her limbs and looked at the rock with open eyes.... It hadn't moved and she tried again this time wanting it to move.... and it didn't happen. Basaba figured maybe it was the altitude or something while she was looking at the rock and ground her teeth tightly to get it to move and it looked like for a moment it wiggled, then was no longer moving. She got frustrated moving over to it and grabbing the rock as her mechanical arm threw it into the air. "There moved it."

 

[Anastasia Rade]

Sighing Ana shook her as [member="Basaba Willamina"] picked up and threw the rock. She knew very well how all of this could be quite frustrating at times. It did look like for a moment that she had moved it somewhat but Ana couldn't be sure. Hopefully she could get her Vode to focus because Ana believed that she could do it just she needed to be patient and let things come as they may. It was an important thing to not get angry and let that control her.

"Try again, this time be patient and concentrate. It's hard but I know you can do it. Take a deep breath and be focused."

Basaba looked at her vod as she was moving now back into her first position and moving herself. SHe squatted down waiting for the time as she was breathing in and out to calm now and focus. THis was just like anything else and she had more then enough opportunity to handle it all. She rose up and remained focused letting herself stand there in her tank top as the armor as to the side. She could wear it but she needed t just like one of her nieces to build herself up from the basics. Her hands clenched as she looked at another rock and was reaching out with the force. Her energies flaring around her arm while she sent them out to grasp at and strangle the rock. She wanted it to wiggle there while she was surprised when it moved for a moment. Basaba was excited to see that and actually gave a smile.
